| I'm thinking of attending the High Caliber Gun Show in Houston this weekend. I'm really only in the market for an optic, some range ammo and maybe a sling at the moment. Has anyone attended this show before. I'd like to know if the prices are worth the hassle of driving down there and then paying for entry and parking. |

What type of optic will you be shopping for? I usually only see low end or higher end stuff, not much in between.
I have not bought any ammo at a show in years, so not sure if the prices are reasonable. You should be able to find a good selection of slings at this show. All that being said I still go to the Houston shows pretty regular. It's a great way to pass a few hours and occasionally you can find good deals. |
| I'm trying not to go overboard with the optic. I'm looking at models in the $300-400 range. I am definitely looking for fixed power. I don't plan on shooting the rifle beyond 100 yards often so I don't need much magnification, just help getting on target out past 50 yards or so. So far, I line the Vortex prism 3x, the Burris prism 3x and Primary Arms has a 3 and 5x prism that are slightly cheaper. |

No, this one is at the George R. Brown Convention center in downtown Houston. This one: http://www.texasgunshows.com/ I'd like to go but if there aren't any good deals to be had, I'd rather avoid the traffic/expense/hassle of attending. With all the construction in the area, I avoid that area like the plague Chron link |

Academy and Cabelas have those brands ( Burris and Vortex ) ... stop by, take a look - get home / don't like it - take it back. Surprisingly, on a google search - Academy listed the Burris cheaper than others listed. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/burris-ar-332-3-x-32-tactical-prism-optic |
